aSubjects who were not exposed to biologic treatment prior to study enrolment

bSubjects who received biologic treatment prior to study enrolment but switched to a different biologic at study entry

cTwo patients received certolizumab pegol and 26 patients received infliximab. Aggregated baseline characteristics for these patients have not been reported separately by index biologic because of low numbers
